I didn't used to like school spirit a whole lot. I realize this was so because I really didn't want a bond with any of my classmates. But in recent months a lot of those feelings have changed I still don't want any bonds with just anyone but I am making friends and I like to celebrate my school with them. I define school spirit as... having the courage to support people you may not even like a whole lot and to cheer them on. School spirit is only fun if YOU make it fun, in my opinion. I think it's a good thing for me because it makes me feel good about myself. Most everyone wants to be part of a group full of people who are all working towards one goal and I've never really had that, so Pep Assemblies/School Spirit are a great way to accomplish that feeling. Is St. Helens High School successful in using school spirit to accomplish that purpose? I think that the High School could also have Pep Assemblies that focus on things like Clubs, Band, Choir and Theater.
As for being proud of any other particular group, I don't quite have such a thing. When I was younger, I used to be really proud of my family. I'm proud and grateful of my immediate family but I realize now that I am older that other family members I have are nothing to be proud of. I am though, eternally greatful for my grandmother, great aunt and uncle and a grandfather.
So to conclude, no I do not feel any other pride for anything else other than school spirit and during pep assemblies, sadly.

It's nice that you have some sort of pride in something. By saying that there's nothing to be proud of in your immediate family, do you mean you have some trouble with your family (if you don't mind my asking)?
